Blog - Back in the UK you have been experiencing the arrival of spring, here on the Island of Hispaniola we are still waiting for our next season to start in earnest – namely the rainy season. The island is currently experiencing a bit of a drought and although this is not a good thing in general, it has meant that we have managed to avoid any major soakings since our last update. That’s not to say that no rain has fallen, it just means we have not been caught out in the field when it has. However, instead we have had to cope with searing hot temperatures in order to look for solenodon and hutia in remote sites which can only be accessed via very long treks through areas of dry forest with little or no shade. Its been tough going!!
 

Animal collection - The animal collection at Durrell wildlife park fulfils a variety of roles. Many of the animals found here are critically endangered and their presence here directly supports their conservation through captive breeding or research. Other animals allow our keepers to gain valuable animal management skills which can be transferred to overseas projects.
